I Wanna Do Right
Sam Bush (from Laps in Seven)
By Sam Bush & Jeff Black

A song about Hurricane Katrina

Intro:
A   D   A   D

Verse 1:
           A
Throw me a life line
           D
Is anybody home.
           E
Seems like yesterday ‘ay I was just standing on the corner,
D

waiting for the old bon ton

Verse 2:
               A
It never was a real job
                     D
Never worked all the time.
       E                                              D
But it paid for a this and a that, bought the baby perfume,
D
and it kept us alive

Break 1:
    E
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to turn the
F#m
time back around and the
G                           D
tanka tanka accordion

Chorus:
           A        D
I wanna do right
                   A         D
I don’t want to do wrong
                A            D
I wanna keep it simple
                A            D
I wanna keep it strong
                  A
I need to help my brothers
D                   G    A  D
And help the family rise above
           A        D
I wanna do right
                   A         D
I don’t want to do wrong

Verse 3:
                   A
I miss the kind of trouble
                      D
That never lasted too long.
    E
The kind where you could clear your mind with a couple of
D
drinks and a traveling song

Verse 4:
                      A
I never had a bowl of cherries no,no
               D
Now that ain’t news.
        E
But I’d give anything to get back to that dirty old
D
room full of mingingy blues

Break 2:
            E
I think I’d rather have the wind and the
F#m
rain and the president’s
G                           D
plane and a big bass drum

Chorus:
           A        D
I wanna do right

I don’t want to do wrong
                A            D
I wanna keep it simple
                A            D
I wanna keep it strong
                  A
I need to help my brothers
D                   G    A  D
And help the family rise above
           A        D
I wanna do right
                   A         D
I don’t want to do wrong

Break 2:
